Terrible Beauty by Auden Schendler
"Terrible Beauty"—a title drawn from W.B. Yeats' poignant reflection on transformation amidst tragedy—offers a powerful critique of the modern corporate sustainability movement. Auden Schendler, through firsthand experiences and personal stories, exposes the greenwashing that masks the truth and reveals how current practices fall woefully short in addressing the urgent threat of climate change. This book challenges us to confront the harsh realities while inspiring a new, genuine path forward. In aligning our values with meaningful action, Schendler shows that the true path to saving our planet lies in embracing our shared humanity.
